More Fijians will now be able to access affordable housing after the groundbreaking ceremony for Housing Authority’s Mokosoi Subdivision development in Pacific Harbour.

With a total cost of $3 million, the subdivision will see the development of 34 residential lots and 1 commercial space, together with a green space that will be used for sports or leisure.

This will be made possible in the next six months by Housing Authority.

While officiating at the event, Minister for Housing and Local Government, Maciu Katamotu says developments that will be conducted in the coming months is the result of a more holistic approach, as they not only focus on how many lots they can develop but also on building communities to have a more secure and better future.

Nalumisa also reassured the community that the Housing Authority will continue to work towards enhancing the government’s efforts to provide access to affordable housing for low and middle-income families and also meet housing demands in Fiji.

Chief Executive Officer of the Housing Authority, Ritesh Singh emphasized that the Housing Authority will work with the Government on its five-year Land Development Plan to ensure that they go into more sites and provide a higher number of lots yields.

He says with the support of the Board and their line minister he has reassured the people that the team at Housing Authority will get into many more projects and even bigger ones in the near future.
